North Foundation

Help our healthcare and research services continue to be there when the community needs us most

The NORTH Foundation is proud to be the registered charity for the Northern Sydney Local Health District (NSLHD) and to serve as the fundraising partner for Royal North Shore, Ryde and Hornsby Ku-ring-gai Hospitals and the Kolling Institute of Medical Research.

Our hospitals and medical research institute play a special role in all our lives. From the joyous moment of a baby’s first breath, to helping a family say goodbye to a loved one, and all of the broken bones, accidents, treatments and check-ups in between – our healthcare workers feel privileged to be able to provide ‘lifetime of care’.

While our clinicians, healthcare workers and researchers are proud to be able to serve the community, the NORTH Foundation is honoured to be able to support their work. We raise crucial funding for hospital and research facilities, equipment, training and program support in order to ensure that our medical and hospital staff can continue providing high-quality patient and healthcare services.

The powerful lasting impact of legacy giving 

By remembering your local hospital or medical research institute in your Will, you are helping to ensure that we continue to have top-quality hospital facilities, state-of-the-art medical equipment, innovative patient services and funding for pioneering medical research. A legacy gift is a truly selfless act that has the potential to impact the lives of others for generations to come.

These are just a few of the ways generous legacy gifts to the NORTH Foundation have helped support our hospitals and medical research institute:

• Research: Support for a clinical researcher to continue their work including purchasing lab consumables and necessary equipment for their experiments.
• Hospital Equipment: Upgrading and replacing crucial hospital equipment to help improve our patient services.
• Training & Education: Providing learning and training opportunities to our healthcare staff in order to continue improving on our services and the patient experience.
• Community Well-being: Funded well-being programs for patients and their families to help with rehabilitation and recovery after treatments.
• Infrastructure Upgrades: Assisting with funding crucial hospital capital work upgrades to surgery theatres, wards and clinical trials spaces.

When you leave a legacy gift to the NORTH Foundation you are investing in the future of healthcare – so that we can continue to be there when the community needs us most.

On behalf of the NORTH Foundation and our healthcare staff, thank you for considering leaving a gift in Will and helping us to continue to keep our community safe and healthy.
